Sugar Addiction (Part I)

Are you addicted to sugar?

Let’s find out the details. The video below will give you some interesting facts about addiction and sugar in particular. It is not surprising to me that some morbidly obese people do not seem to be able to lose weight. Further, when they feel bad about themselves they go to food for comfort. I remember feeling unable to do much exercise or take a walk or even going shopping after a meal. I also remember feeling hungry only a couple of hours after a typical Burger King meal. For me, the problem in the past was the pressure of a corporate job. I often had to work and commute for too long so that fast food was sometimes the only option.

 

Control your sugar addiction and obesity

Sugar addiction may be the reason why most people are afraid of the word “fasting” in intermittent fasting. They think that they could not alter their “Standard American Diet” (SAD). However, they could reduce the number of meals from 3 to 2, even to 1 meal a day. Those of us who have given it a try for 3 weeks find that the addiction is soon under control. As we begin to lose weight we establish new habits that could last us a lifetime. Then we find that we have more time to concentrate on our work without the interruption of food cravings.

Understanding the problem of sugar addiction is the first step to combating obesity. So here is this video to help you get there (see below). Believing that it is possible to transform your life and removing the sugar addiction will help you get there. Here are two ways you could do it:

  • 1. Reduce the number of meals in a day. First to 2 meals and eventually to 1 meal, without altering the foods you eat. You will find that you can eat any diet and feel satisfied.
  • 2. Alter the carbohydrate to lipids (fat) ratio in your diet leading into the Ketogenic diet. You will find that lipid-rich diets are quite satisfying.

New habits to prevent obesity

One meal a day (OMAD) is perfectly adaptable to the high-pressure reality of a corporate job. All you have to do is decide when is the best time for your single meal. Then fast the rest of the time. During fasting, you will be more focused on your work and your family, and still, find the time for exercise. By the way, if you really, really want to lose weight fast, you could combine:

  • 1. OMAD
  • 2. Low carbohydrate diet
  • 3. High-intensity intermittent training (HIIT).

This could be a longer-term goal. There is no hurry, you have the rest of your life to make these changes your new habits for life. My recommendation is to focus on OMAD first because it will be the best way to reduce insulin spikes, sugar addiction, and obesity.
